Hello guys,
I've recently noticed new, white growth on my Monstera deliciosa. Is it a fungal disease? And, if so, how to treat it?
I'd be grateful for any help.

The pictures not clear enough for a definitive answer, but it looks more like mealybug than a fungus. Also, more likely. Use a systemic insecticide in the soil or wipe them off with a damp paper towel.

It's possible that the white growth on your Monstera deliciosa is a fungal disease, but it's also possible that it's just natural new growth. Monstera deliciosa produces new leaves that start out small and white, and gradually grow larger and darker over time.

To be sure, you can inspect the white growth more closely. If it looks fuzzy or powdery, it's likely a fungal disease. In that case, you can try treating it with a fungicide that's labeled for use on houseplants. Be sure to follow the instructions carefully and take any necessary precautions, such as wearing gloves and keeping the product away from children and pets.

If the white growth appears to be normal new growth, there's no need to treat it. Simply continue caring for your Monstera deliciosa as you normally would, providing it with bright, indirect light, well-draining soil, and regular watering.
